A former Nigerian Diplomat, Ambassador Joe Keshi, has shared his opinion on why President Donald Trump of the United States of America, started the ongoing war with Iran.
Keshi pointed out that a nuclear deal former President, Barrack Obama signed with the United States was working until President Trump cancelled the deal five years ago, during his first tenure.
He said that Trump’s reason for cancelling the deal could have been because he never wanted a black man to become the President of America before him and he was ready to destroy everything he [Obama] did.
Speaking on Arise News, the former diplomat said, “I think the world is in such a state we are now, in my in my view, because of the irresponsibility of the world powers, who now thinks that because they are powerful, they have the right and the privilege to do whatever they want within the international system.
“You have the Russians attacking Ukraine, and today, you now have the United States and its ally Israel doing whatever they want to do, or what they had intended to do for so many years.
“First, we need to understand that the situation we find ourselves today in the Middle East was actually caused by one person, the President of the United States of America.
“Four years or five years ago, he canceled the Iranian deal made by Obama, which, by the way, was working perfectly well.
“The International Atomic Energy periodically was monitoring the development in Iran in terms of nuclear development, and was issuing reports that they were complying with the agreement that Obama signed.
“But Donald Trump came and canceled it for two reasons. One, because of Israel pressure. Netanyahu is his very good friend. Secondly, because Donald Trump wants his name…He does not believe… and one of his major problems is that a black man became president before him, and that has remained so painful to him that anything Obama did, he was prepared to take it out.
“Secondly, the Americans and the Iranians, I mean, and Israel have framed this initially about Iran developing nuclear capability or capacity? But here is the point.
“The truth of the matter is that the same Donald Trump, when he bombed the Iranian I think, last year, told us that he has obliterated Iran’s nuclear development. So there was nothing more to do, and they were speculating that it will take so many years before the Iranians could rebuild.
“So exactly what are they doing now? They are killing the leaders of Iran in an attempt to enforce regime change again. Here is what everybody needs to know. America has attempted regime change so many times, and it has failed. Afghanistan, there is a typical example. Libya is a typical example. Iraq is a typical example, and this is the latest.
“In the words of Donald Trump himself last night, he’s calling on the Iranian people to take over their country. How, for goodness sake, will Iranians do that? So it shows you that America went into a war and they did not anticipate or prepare for who will take over. So how do we affect a regime change?
“So here we are again with the possibility of another American miscalculation taking place.
“But by the end of it, they would have killed so many people as has happened in the past, they would have destroyed, you know, Iran that was not a threat. Iran, we must emphasize, was not a threat to the United States in any way except that Netanyahu, since he became prime minister, has always wanted to go after Iran, and that’s exactly what we are doing today…”
As earlier reported, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched the most ambitious attack on Iranian targets in decades.
Iranian media confirmed that Khamenei’s daughter, grandchild, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law were also killed in the strike.
The Israeli army said that Ali Shamkhani, a top advisor to Khamenei, and the head of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards, General Mohammad Pakpour, were also killed in the strikes.
The Israel Defense Forces, IDF, claimed that their fighter jets had eliminated seven senior officials of the Iranian defence leadership.
